Chapter 280
“I’m very much alive.” Sophie declared as she rose to her feet. “Your partner is standing right beforeyou, full of life and vigor. You’re not dreaming.”
Relief washed over Reece’s face, a look of joy that one found only after a close brush with disaster. Hestepped forward and wrapped Sophie in a tight embrace, needing to confirm the reality of herpresence.
Sophie patted Reece’s back, assuring him. “I promised to make you a movie star, a luminary in theindustry, and I intend to keep that promise.”
Upon releasing Sophie, Reece’s joy morphed into a smile. He had always known she wouldn’t be soeasily vanquished.
“Why did you take over Russell Enterprises? Why did you meet me? Why haven’t you announced thatyou’re still alive?” Reece’s mind was a whirlwind of questions.
Sophie hinted, “Didn’t you suspect that I was Blake from S Corporation all along?”
Blake was just a pseudonym she had concocted to conceal her identity, fearing that James woulddiscover her.
Everyone thought that the power behind S Corporation was Blake when it was actually Sophie.novelbin
But Reece was more perceptive than most. He had already probed into her relationship with SCorporation. So she knew that meeting Reece as the CEO of S Corporation would definitely tip him off.
Reece fell silent for a moment before speaking. “The rumors are flying everywhere. Many believeyou’re dead, the Russell family is in turmoil, and James is nearly going mad searching for you. What
are you planning?”
Sophie’s smile faded slightly. “Once, I was the daughter of the Russell family, James‘ wife. But now, Iam simply me, free from the constraints of such titles, able to do as I wish. The final step in becomingmy true self is divorcing James.”
Divorcing James might seem straightforward, but in reality, it was anything but.
The Russell and Burke families had once been allies, mutually benefiting from each other’s projects,with James always having the upper hand in their mamage. She had no say in the matter of divorce.
Now, however, their families had fallen out due to her ‘death, and S Corporation and BurkeInternational had become adversaries. Though things had taken an unexpected turn, they were movingin the night direction. She was close to breaking free from James, just waiting for the right moment.
She hoped Nichole would not disappoint her.
Reece said, “Whatever you want to do, I’m with you.”

Sophie smiled, “S Corporation will use all its resources to open up domestic and internationalentertainment markets for you. I want you to be the brightest star.”
“Okay,” Reece replied without hesitation.
Sophie couldn’t help but caution him, “The path isn’t as easy as you think. Are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” Reece paused, then frowned. “But there’s someone standing in my way now,”
“Do you mean Corin?”
Originally, she had placed Corin in a media company under Burke International. Surprisingly, the kid didwell, and because he was Sophie’s recommendation, Burke International had given him their fullsupport, offering him all the best resources.
In just a few months, Corin, who had been a second–tier actor at Russell Entertainment, was now onpar with Reece.
However, this was all part of Sophie’s plan.
“Don’t worry, the higher they climb, the harder they fall. Corin’s personal life is a mess, rife withscandals. He won’t last long.”
Sending Corin to Burke International was a strategic move, meant to use him at the right moment todeal a significant blow to Burke Entertainment
